IN THE PICTURE GEB: Production Stills From The TCM Archives - Hardcover

If you know someone whose passion is the classic Hollywood movies of the '30s, '40s and '50s, "In the Picture: Production Stills From the TCM Archives" is a perfect fit. These are on-the-set shots some candid, some obviously posed showing the director, the cameraman and the crew hovering as some memorable moments are being filmed: Fred Astaire dancing with Ginger Rogers in "Top Hat," Humphrey Bogart saying goodbye to Ingrid Bergman in "Casablanca," James Dean brooding in "Rebel Without a Cause," and so on. The contrast of glamour and grit in almost every still is remarkable. -San Jose Mercury News
